UNDS '08 Infras (infrapink) probably my least favorite shade of Infra.
As expected every pair that I've UNDSd recently have started to crack a little bit.
And so goes my love/hate relationship with old AMs.
which part of the shoes will usually crack ? does the air bag still good?

I like infrapink and they’re comfy.

Heel midsole first to crack.

Yeah and the Infra wedge has started to chip a little
Airbags are still firm. So far it's just some hairline cracks in the heel and some chipping on the wedge

I guess AM90 don't necessary need to be to old to crack. Somewhere about early 2013 I got AM1 and 90. Both produced in 2011. So obviously they couldn't be considered as unwearable. And midsoles cracked on both pairs within ~ 6 month of wearing. Both had the same issue - seems like foam behind air bags was lower density. First pairs of AM1 and 90 and such a disappointment. So I'm just staying away from every non-ultra 1 and 90.
Previously someone in this thread already told me that 90s from that era are prone to cracking.

Been on the lookout for bacons for years but either the condition wasn't right or the price was too steep. Finally found a pair that fit both criteria. Honestly so stoked to have these. They've been a personal grail of mine's for over 10 years. Also most likely to be the first pair of sneakers I ever get sole swapped/restored.

Congratulations
Top 5 90 all day. The quality is amazing and they’re super comfortable.
If that dreaded day does come and you need a soleswap I have a few style codes of essentials with pink Airunits for donor.

Yep, slightly worn far less likely to crumble and far safer to buy and wear.

breakjonn They look worn from the pic, which is a good thing if your gonna rock em.
Old DS is guaranteed to chip/crack and eventually crumble.
I personally would rather copp NDS with some wear on them.
Yea they are nds, I've been told with older air maxes and jordans(2-9) that used is the way to go if you are trying to wear them.
I'm not too used to having sneakers that need maintenance like this so if I ever need a reliable source for sole swaps I'll be sure to ask. Pretty sure you guys in here can point me in the right direction.

My pleasure good sir. You're the first person I thought of when I decided to part ways with 'em. Just looking out for a fellow Air Max Head and especially glad to know they're with someone who'll appreciate their brilliance. Enjoy!

Congrats man. I have a really strange relationship with this particular colorway. It's one of the shoes that I definitely need to buy, but I've been holding off trying to find the hyperstrike edition in my size or anything close to it. It's close to a losing battle at this point though. Excellent pickup

Are they wearable? Do you plan on rocking them?
